Tube rings for power tubes?

I recently bought a set of 6550 power tubes that came with tube rings. ARC has long been putting rings on their preamp tubes and there seems to be no question that doing so helps their sound. Has anyone had experience using rings on power tubes? Thanks.

Be sure to try them both with, and without the rings. I found that the life got sucked out of the music with rings on my EL34's.

Herbie's are probably the best out there for tube dampers that don't kill the music, at least on small tubes.

Enjoy,
Bob
